"Grand Historic Hotel"

The Grand Hotel is a very significant landmark in Taipei, sitting on a hill offering a commanding view of the surrounding. Being a grand old hotel steep in history means that it is a dated hotel. There are school tours to the hotel too. So the hotel lobby can be very busy.
I stayed in a room facing the river and the Songshan airport. It has a large balcony and the city view especially in the mornings and evenings is excellent. When booking, do indicate a preference for rooms with balcony in the main building or risked being allocated one in the middle of the main block without any windows or a room in an old block behind the main block.
For a historic building, the interior decor was pleasantly modern and so was the toilet. Wifi signal strength was average and the sporting channels on the tv was limited to mainly baseball and basketball. For soccer fans of either the English Premier League or European soccer, you will be disappointed.
Breakfast was a good spread expected of a 5 stars hotel but service was a little below par for a hotel of such stature. Counter staff was excellent. To overcome its location issue, the hotel provides a free and very frequent shuttle service to the Subway stations. All staff speak a very decent level of English.
Overall, a pleasant stay but could be better with an update.

"Grand Vacation at the Grand Hotel"

My wife and I loved this place - the property is amazing and the walking trails outside were perfect. The breakfast was worth the price of admission all by it self.
We stayed just two night but wish we would have stayed longer.

"Let down by housekeeping service"

Stayed for 3 nights. Although aged it is a really grand and excellent piece of Chinese architecture with plenty of interesting history because of the State Guesthouse background. Good and modernised facilities all round with good services available. Nicely located and very convenient shuttle bus services provided. The downside was the room particularly the bed being too small that affected the quality of sleep. Poor house keeping - dirty cups not replaced and the floor not vacuum cleaned properly. Received apologies and even complimentary fruits after complained at help desk but nothing changed next day!

"Really Grand! "

Though more than 40 years old, it has its charm & extremely good place to stay at. Lavish rooms, very clean, convenient to travel anywhere in Taipei as hotel shuttle drops at close by metro station every 20 minutes. The hotel has awesome lobby. Has a small museum showing the journey since 60s. Hotel has a lovely view of city. Good restaurants. We enjoyed our stay very much.
